From Trauma to CEO is where ambitious, high-functioning women learn to turn survival wisdom into conscious leadership.
Hosted by trauma-informed psychologist Dr. Farya Barlas, this podcast goes beneath “mindset” and into the nervous system, identity, and lived experiences that quietly shape how you work, lead, and succeed.
Each episode unpacks the real psychology of high achievement, how your hardest seasons forged your brilliance, how old survival codes still run the show, and what it looks like to expand into a version of success that no longer costs you your wellbeing.
Farya’s work is known for changing people at the level that endures, her clients carry her voice for years, making calm, powerful decisions that honour both their ambition and their nervous system.
If you’re ready to understand why you are the way you are, and grow into a CEO of your own life with your soul, not your survival system, leading the way, this is where it begins.
